A year has gone by... way to fast. I miss you like I did the day you left us. For the past year I have worn your cloth, sprayed your colon and gone through photos of you. I know you are no longer here with me but I will never let go. I love you Dad.

My condolences to the family and friends of Manny. I would see him every now and again at PPP but more often would see him in South Tucson. Wonderful man that was quick with a handshake, hug and smile. Rest in peace Manny.

Manny was an institution in South Tucson, always working with youth. He was a devoted family man and a great mentor, earning the trust and respect of the youth he served. It wasn't a job to Manny...it was a calling. He will be greatly missed.
